Solid tempo with All Systems Go to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. JAN VAN GOYEN (1) is a talented colt who was tested in tougher class last time when 12th over 1600m in the G1 Queen's Plate at Kenilworth. That was WFA but was a Grade 1 winner the start prior against own age. Callan Murray who has four wins when partnering stays on. Can atone. TRUST (4) has top form for this including a Grade 2 win here three back. Big chance to score after a near miss last start. SPLITTHEEIGHTS (2) has won three of last four, the latest the G2 Gauteng Guineas here last time. Should be winding up strongly again. GRAND EMPIRE (3) was runner-up in that race. Close to breaking through after two consecutive placings and can give this a mighty shake.
